AFL Power Rankings: Round 3 2012

Is it the year of the Blues? Last week Carlton moved into second spot - this week though they have become firmly entrenched there following their huge win against the Magpies, and are just a few ranking points away from spot number one.

Meanwhile Richmond move up to (gulp) ninth thanks to their comfortable win against Melbourne and unimpressive efforts from the Dogs and the Dons. Their early record may not show it due to a tough early draw, but the Tigers so far are looking distinctly like a "mid-range" team. North Melbourne are other notable movers following their win against the No.1 ranked Cats.

And the Demons are now closing in on Gold Coast/GWS territory. It's not all bad news for these teams though, as I'll show in a post next week teams don't stay stuck in the cellar as long as they used to.
